Police: Woman Forced Into Sex With Son

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) - Two teenagers were accused of gang raping a woman and forcing her 12-year-old son to join in the attack, then beating him and pouring cleaning solution into his eyes.

Authorities allege Avion Lawson, 14, and Nathan Walker, 16, were among a group of about 10 masked suspects who forced their way into the woman's apartment in a crime-ridden housing project the night of June 18.

The two were being held without bail Friday on suspicion of armed sexual battery by multiple perpetrators, sexual performance by a child, armed home invasion and aggravated battery. Both were arrested this week, but formal charges had not been filed.

"Any rape case is horrible but this takes it to another level, something you can't think of even in your worst dreams," police spokesman Ted White said.

According to the police report, a man knocked on the woman's door at about 9 p.m. and told her he had a flat tire. The mother and son, whom police have not identified, went outside and were ambushed by a group of gun-wielding suspects.

The victims told police they were forced back into their home and beaten and sexually assaulted. According to authorities, the men raped, sodomized and beat the woman, then forced her son to participate in the assault at gunpoint, making him have sex with his mother in front of them.

The boy was then beaten and had numerous household cleaning liquids poured into his eyes, according to the police report.

The suspects also stole a few hundred dollars worth of cash and jewelry, White said.

White said more arrests were pending, but he would not say if authorities had identified additional suspects. The teens in custody were not cooperating, but Lawson confessed to taking part in the attack, White said. Walker has denied involvement, White said.

DNA evidence in a condom found in the victims' home linked Lawson to the crime, police said. Investigators also say they found a palm print belonging to Walker at the scene.

The victims did not suffer life-threatening injuries and have been released from the hospital, White said.

"They're going through the county victim services for counseling," he said.

Lawson lived in Dunbar Village, the hardscrabble project where the attack occurred. Walker was apparently visiting a friend there, White said.

Authorities believe the suspects all knew each other from the neighborhood, but they don't think they knew the victims directly.

Prosecutors have 21 days from the time a suspect is arrested to formally file charges. Lawson was arrested Tuesday. Walker was arrested Thursday.

A call to Lawson's public defender was not immediately returned. It was not known if Walker has an attorney.

Then his mama will be on TV saying how she doesn't believe the charges and her son would never do anything like that. I hope they get the death penalty in this case because there is no rehabilitation from this if you are that far gone as a 14 and 16 year old. None whatsoever. That is pure evil in the flesh.

.........and to the smart ass about what my mother would say. If I did something negative or commited some heinous act I assure you my mother would not mince her words nor would I expect her to. She is a realist and is fully aware of what I am capable of. She does not agree with my chosen path now and has made that very clear but this and that are no where near the same. That is what I meant if my mom was questioned she would say she does not approve or support my life decisions, that I ws not raised that way and that she prays daily for my exit. She is no fan of Ayana I assure. But she is my mom and I respect her and her beliefs etc. Now whoever wrote that about forcing the 12 year old to have an erection. The didnt get that specific who knows what type of sexual act they forced him to do you are missing the point and a little twisted in your thinking?:)

I am very republican texas-style in my thinking when it comes to crime and punishment. I think if the death penalty was enacted more and done quickly instead of 20 years on death row the world would be a better place
